Fellow commenters, do you *really* think that Obama is this terrible? Inconceivable misery? Come on guys - I'm no Democrat but what does it profit us to exaggerate his negative significance? It undermines our credibility in all areas.

As to who said this, I'm going to guess some dispensational TBN-like personality.

Knowing the quote has nothing to do with current administration but rather the Third Reich, that thoughts turn to an American president instead of megalomaniac helps make the point that we seem dangerously at ease with over-realized rhetoric (the sort one would think gunned down abortionists might be cause for rhetorical repentance).

Which means, Howard, were Rush to have said it about Obama it would be less a violation of 2K than old-fashioned wisdom.

Ooo, wait, maybe not Lee; I'm at a loss. Though Lee was very pious and viewed Lincoln as evil. It's not about Obama though doubtless there are many who view him this way. "Future generations will damn you for what you have done" says the speaker has in view some person or persons who were responsible for putting the nation in jeopardy through setting up a man as head of the nation, a nation. This is not necessarily the U.S.

Arrgh, so tempting to google it. Thinking this statement applies to a pres of ours doesn't make sense; the speaker would be damning the voters. I think he has in view a much smaller, more specific group, culpable for this leader's ascent to power. I'm thinking the guess about Hitler is correct.

Since previous hints make the quote a reference to the Third Reich in Germany, I will guess Deitrich Bonhoeffer- although the rhetoric does not sound like him. So, Ludendorff may be correct even though I am not sure who Ludendorff is.
